Q: How flexible are your panels?

A: The flexibility of our panels varies depending on theÂ thickness and size of the panel. We will use a 12"x24" panel size as an example. Our .015" panel is our thinnest and most flexible panels. This panel will ben easily around an object like a pipe, however they will have a harder time with a curve that bends two ways. example would be trying to cover a basketball.

.015"/.4mm panel is very flexible and will bend around something as tight as a 2" diameter pipe.

.030"/.8mm panel will remain flexible and will bend around a 6" diameter pipe

.055"/1.4mm panel increases in rigidity and will bend around a 12" diameter pipe

.090"/2.3mm panel is where our panels become rigit. These panels remain quite stiff, however they will flex a little.

.165"/4.2mm panel will hardly flex at all

These thicknesses are to give an appoximation to someone who has never worked with our materials before. We have many other thicknesses available, all the way up to 1" thick.

Q: How are your panels shipped?

A: Our thinner panels are covered with a protective layer, then rolled and shipped in a large box. Our thicker panels are covered and shipped flat.
